Love is in the air, and so are the sweet treats that go with it!
Whether you’re planning the perfect Valentine’s gift for your significant other or embracing singlehood with a movie night among friends, your favorite fast food spots are creating hearts in their kitchens to make the day special. Make Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, and Mountain Mike’s Pizza a part of your Valentine’s Day with their treats that are worthy of your love!
Valentine’s Day may be less than a month away, but it’s better to plan early and not let the Valentine’s rush eat you out alive! Here are the treats you can get as gifts or snacks for your romantic comedy-themed party.
Chick-fil-A
The flowers vs. chocolates as gifts debate has long been heated. Others will choose flowers anytime as they symbolize love and affection. Chocolate, on the other hand, is said to be more practical since it can be consumed. But most especially when your lover has a huge craving for anything chocolate. Well, Chick-fil-A is ending the flowers vs. chocolates as gift debate since they’re offering their all-time favorite menu items in a heart tray.
That’s right, your favorite chicken stop, Chick-fil-A, is once again offering their Heart-Shaped Trays for the coming Valentine’s season. According to food blogger @Snackolator, they’re typically available around the last week of January. But streets say that some Chick-fil-A locations began selling them this past week. 👀 Make sure to check them out at your nearest Chick-fil-A locations to get your hands early on these treats in heart-shaped tins.
Speaking of treats, what’s inside these trays that make people excited? Take a look inside and choose your pick:
- 30-count Chick-fil-A Nuggets – Features bite-sized pieces of one of the chain’s favorite menu items. They’re made from boneless chicken breasts that are seasoned to perfection, freshly breaded, and cooked in 100% refined peanut oil.
- 10-count Chick-n-Minis (during breakfast hours) – Features warm yeast roll buns filled with bite-sized pieces of Chick-fil-A Nuggets. The top part of the Chick-n-Minis sandwich is brushed with honey butter spread for a sweet and buttery taste in every bite.
- 12 Chocolate Fudge Brownies halves – Why get chocolate when you can get them fudge brownies instead? It features sweet and semi-rich chocolate that is melted into the batter and fudgy chunks.
- 6 Chocolate Chunk Cookies – Cookie lovers, it’s your time to shine. Chick-fil-A is serving them really good as these cookies feature both semi-sweet dark and milk chocolate chunks with some wholesome oats.

McDonald’s
It may or may not be a McDonald’s Valentine’s-themed treat, but this new dessert pie deserves a spot on the list as it matches the Valentine’s vibes we’re trying to put along. It’s none other than the Strawberry & Crème Pie making a comeback at your local McDonald’s. They’re here to replace the holiday pies that somehow grew in our hearts. So, if you love them, it’s time to say your goodbyes and see them probably during the holiday season.
Now, what’s so special about this pie that’s worth tasting? It has strawberries and vanilla-flavored creme that are baked together in a sugary and flaky crust. Warning: they’re a bit hot when served, so make sure that you cool them down for a little while! It’s just like eating your favorite Strawberries and Cream drink or a cake version of it. 😋
According to @Snackolator, they’ve already made their way in a bunch of markets, and they’re considered one of the limited-time favorites that McDonald’s offers. If you want a break from your usual Apple Pie, get a Strawberry & Crème Pie instead. You can also choose to create different food hacks with them, just like the popular Apple Pie and Vanilla Soft Serve combo with a drizzle of your favorite sweet sauce!
Limited-Time McDonald’s Pie That You Might Miss
McDonald’s dessert pies have been a long-time favorite of fans since they’ve been serving them since 1965. We may not know why, but they magically bring balance to every McDonald’s meal. Listed below are some of the limited-time McDonald’s pies that we miss. Just like the Strawberry and Crème Pie, these pies also stand a chance of making a comeback:
- Blueberry and Crème Pie – Blueberry and vanilla crème filling that was served back in 2022 in select regions.
- Pumpkin & Crème Pie – A fall favorite pie that is packed with spiced pumpkin filling. Let’s hope that they bring them back in fall this year, as it’s never fall season in the chain without bringing back the pumpkin spice-flavored pie.
- Holiday Pie – The most recent pie to grace McDonald’s dessert menu is this festive pie. It’s made of the usual flaky and buttery crust plus a sugar glaze. The pie is filled with rich vanilla custard and designed with confetti-like candy sprinkles on the outside. You can guess why this pie has fans waiting all year long just to get them.

From The Club
Valentine’s is probably one of my favorite events every year. There’s something beautiful about red, pink, and white filling up my surroundings. As a girly girl, I also love anything heart-shaped, so those trays from Chick-fil-A will bring me enough happiness just to cure my cravings. I do think that McDonald’s Strawberry Crème Pie and the Heart-Shaped Pizza from Mountain Mike’s is enough to make me throw my own rom-com movie night with my closest gals!
